Spider Stitch Triangle for a Shawl, free pattern

For those of you who like making triangular shawls
here is a fancy spider stitch.

However, I must warn you that it’s not a beginner level
pattern!

Even though the stitch itself involves only double crochets, single
crochets, and chains, there are lots and lots of “skipping”, which makes the
pattern complicated. In addition, there are repeating instructions within
repeating instructions, which might be confusing if you’ve never worked with
such patterns before.

To make the sample shown in the picture, I used
leftover cotton yarn from my stash. But I think it will look much better in
acrylic or wool yarn.

Of course, your shawl will need some edging. You
might want to check out the simple edging I used for this spider-stitch shawl.

Hi Olga, what a beautiful blog you have! And so many lovely patterns. I came across your site over on Janice's blog today. My name is Delisa, I am 50 years old and live in a small rural town in Georgia. I love to crochet, knit, and needlepoint. Crochet has always been my first love. You are very talented! I hope you have a lovely day ahead, happy crocheting! Delisa :)

I just used this stitch for a shawl, too! I found the pattern at www.crochet-plaisir.com, but it's a little different inbetween the spiders (didn't know the pattern is called spider stitch by the way). Nice to see yours! My post is scheduled for next week.

I've done the spider stitch before on a swatch square and I really liked it. Your shawl pattern is really cool. I'm going to try it right now...but one question. How can I make it bigger? What row or rows do I repeat? I've read and now understand to repeat rows 10-17 to finish your listed/written pattern...but what if I choose to make it bigger? Thanks, Cathy
